$shipment->setParameter('shipCity', 'San Francisco');
$shipment->setParameter('shipState', 'California');
$shipment->setParameter('shipCode', '94132');
$shipment->setParameter('shipCountry', 'US');
$shipment->setParameter('toCompany', 'San Diego Zoo');
$shipment->setParameter('toAddr1', '2920 Zoo Dr');
$shipment->setParameter('toCity', 'San Diego');
$shipment->setParameter('toState', 'California');
$shipment->setParameter('toCode', '92101');
$shipment->setParameter('toCountry', 'US');
$shipment->setParameter('toName', 'Mark Sanborn');
$shipment->setParameter('toPhone', '1234567');
